WHAT IS QED?
QED is a text editor written for the Amiga Computer.

DISTRIBUTION:
QED is distributed in two forms. A crippled form with partial
documentation, and an uncrippled form with full documentation. The former

The freely distributable form may only be distributed in its entirety.
All accompanying documentation as distributed by the author must accompany

The executable file(s) must be distributed unaltered. Specifically
you may not alter any of the copyright messages, or any other text
identifying this program as a copyrighted product of the author.
The freely distributable form may be distributed as part of a freely
distributable collection assuming that only "reasonable" fees are charged
for disk duplication, and shipping. Reasonable fees are those fees which
provide realistic compensation for the cost of materials, and postal
charges.
The freely distributable form may be distributed on a
telecommunication service assuming that no special charges are collected
for downloading this program, and documentation.
The freely distributable version of this program may not be
distributed as part of a commercial disk based magazines without written
approval of the author.
The intent of the above should be clear. You may distribute the
crippled form of the program in its entirety, but you may not profit from
this distribution. The author is the only person who may receive any kind
of monetary compensation for this program, and accompanying documentation.
SHAREWARE:
QED is SHAREWARE. This means that a registration fee is requested.
Information on registering is included below. Registered users will
receive an uncrippled version of the program, and the complete
documentation.
The uncrippled version of the program, and accompanying documentation
may be copied by the registered owner. There is no limit on the number of
copies you can make for personal use so long as the executable file(s), and
accompanying documentation are for personal use only. Therefore, you may
not make copies for others to use. It is your responsibility to take
reasonable precautions against others making copies of the executable
file(s), and documentation.

U.S.A.
Registered owners receive an uncrippled version of the program
(one which will save files larger than 10K bytes), and the documentation
describing QED's command mode, and macro documentation. You will need
these documents to fully make use of QED's features such as:
o How to remap keys on the keyboard.
o How to write powerful ARexx, or QED format macros
to automate editing tasks, create new features, etc.
o How to assign commands to single, or double mouse clicks.
o How to perform commands only available from the command mode.
o How to use the macro recorder.
o How to send information from QED back to ARexx.
o And more...
CREDITS
Special thanks go to Brian Jackson, and Kevin Klop. These two have
acted as my primary beta testers since early on, and have contributed
some outstanding ideas which have been incorporated into QED.
Additional thanks goes to DEB (System Operator of GEnie's Commodore,
and Amiga Roundtables). She also has agreed to make use of QED during
its development period, and reported many bugs.
Thanks goes to Michael Sinz for providing a piece of code called
"RenderInfo.c". RenderInfo.c is copyrighted 1985-1990 by MKSoft
Development. Thank you Michael for saving me the hours of research which
would have been required if it were not for receiving this source code.
Of course thanks must go to all of those who registered QED, and the
many ideas which poured in via mail. Many of those ideas have been
implemented, at least to some degree.
DISCLAIMER (SORRY, I HAVE TO INCLUDE THIS):
The entire risk when using this program is assumed by the user.
If you do not agree, stop now, and do not use this program. Every attempt
has been made to write this software, and accompanying documentation to be
reliable, and accurate, however due to the complexity of writing software,
and documenting so many features, the author cannot make any guarantees of
fitness for a particular use, quality, or accuracy.
The author cannot be held responsible for any perceived, imaginery,
or real loss due to use of this program. This is particularly true given
that in a multi-tasking environment such as that which comes with the
Amiga computer, any program can be the cause of a system crash possibly
resulting in a loss of data. Worse, any program can "step-on" another
program causing the other program to fail. Finally operating system
changes, and other factors which are not within the authors control make
it impossible for the author to make any kind of guarantee of quality.
By making use of this program, you therefore agree that you assume
the entire risk, and having done so, you also agree that the author cannot
be sued, or held responsible for any reason. Furthermore, any party, or
parties who claim ignorance of this disclaimer, and subsequently attempt to
sue the author agree to pay all of the author's court, and attorney's fees,
plus any additional costs which the author incurs.
Claims of ignorance regarding this disclaimer are invalid because:
1.) The author cannot be held accountable for the actions of others
who may distribute this program/documentation in anything less
than its complete form (or worse, intentionally, or
unintentionally modify the documentation or software).
2.) The author cannot be held accountable for those who choose not
to read the disclaimer, or any other portion of the
documentation.
3.) The author cannot be held accountable for those who read the
disclaimer, agree with it, and then later change their mind.
4.) The intent of this disclaimer should be clear. If you do not
understand the intent of this disclaimer, stop, and do not use
this program.
If you live in a state, country, etc., which does not allow for a
disclaimer of responsibility such as this one, then you may not use this
program because you are not agreeing to the terms of use.
Finally note that if you do find an inconsistency in the
documentation, or behavior of the program, you are encouraged to report
your findings to the author. When possible, the author may use this
information for the purposes of verification, and possibly corrections.
Note that verification, and subsequent correction of an error, omission,
etc., is left up to the author's discretion. The disclaimer stands
regardless of the findings/changes made by the author.
